'Ancientnoob' as so often you show an interesting group but half (or more) of the enjoyment is gone because one cannot make out details of some coins. Nice green patina and nice trachys, but show them in a better light (aka size). Will have to have a look if I have some more (half way worthy) Byzantines to display. Btw, didn't know that US 'Pennies' were struck by the Byzantines  |

Extremely rare trachy of Theodore Mangaphas 1188-1189, None have ever been record for sale at auction. I sold this to a private collector several years ago for a goodly sum.  |
